you can try cleaning in megasonic or dicing with a tape on both sides. it is sometime tricky to remove the top tape since you have to somwhow get hold of it at a corner to start pulling. ----- Original Message ----- From: ProtoSi InfoDate: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 0:08 Subject: [mems-talk] dicing particle contamination To: mems-talk@memsnet.org > Hello > > We've been struggling with particles getting embedded in our delicate > silicon comb structures during dicing.
